atrax27407 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I decided to install TITANIUM on one of my RAMdisks and have run into a peculiar problem. It runs fine when installed on my HRD16 in DSK9. I simply run the program file TITA and everything works great, However, when I install the files on my Horizon on DSKD and use exactly the same procedure, I get a "File Error 7" message. Rasmus???

Asmusr Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Titanium it using some 'boot tracking' code that expects to find the CRU address of the last used DSR to at >83D0 and the ROM address of the device at >83D0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Does the program possibly restrict drive designations to numeric drives (i.e., DSK1-DSK9)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 No, the only restriction as far as I can tell is that the device name must be 4 characters long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus???Is DSKD on the same physical RAMdisk as DSK9? If not, what are the differences i.e. ROS, CRU, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Not the same physical RAMdisk. The HRD16 (DSK4-9) is at >1900 and the Horizon (DSKD-E) is at >1700. Both are using ROS832. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Sorry, the HRD16 is DSK4-DSKC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 With Tim Tesch's help, I solved the Titanium problem. I found out that it would run from DSKB as well as DSK9. After a bit of poking around in the code, I changed "DSK1" in the TITA program to "DSKD" and it runs very nicely from DSKD now. I still don't have any idea what the problem might be but I have a working copy on my RAMdisk!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 At the very least we were able to confirm Titanium and the ROS are working together to load the files from DSKD. What doesn't make sense is that your DSKD sector edit should have been overwritten in memory by the boot tracking (based on what I see in the startup routine). I suppose if the generic "DSK" was nabbed, this could explain the failure but then I would expect Titanium to look on DSK1. for the files, since the "1" would not have been overwritten. Perhaps there are differences between the Titanium90 disk image I looked at and the version you are using. Most peculiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
